Oman is a Muslim-majority sultanate in which Islam is the state religion under the Basic Statute of the State. Approximately 86 to 88 percent of the citizen population is Muslim, with a unique sectarian composition: the predominant Islamic tradition is Ibadism, an early Islamic school distinct from both Sunnism and Shi'ism that traces to the eighth century and is the official madhab of the Sultan and the state. Approximately 45 to 75 percent of Omani Muslims are Ibadi (figures vary significantly between sources), with the remainder Sunni (predominantly Shafi'i in the coastal Batinah and Salalah regions) and a small Twelver Shia minority of South Asian and Hejazi origin. Ibadism is also practiced in the Algerian Mzab valley, Tunisian Djerba, and the Libyan Nafusa region — Oman is the only country where it is the dominant tradition. The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat, opened in 2001, is the largest mosque in the country and a major architectural landmark. The Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs oversees mosque administration. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Oman; the Gulf-90 method is alternate.
